We should like to know whether you have heard anything further as regards when we might expect delivery of the Cadillac Car. With reference to the Marmon Car which has been ordered from America, I mentioned to Mr. Platford that he might be able to bring it back with him - he said that he would mention it to you. X.3918. In the event of us sending an Experimental Car to America for a 10,000 miles test, is it possible to send it on a triptyque ? if not, what are the regulations as regards tariff for a car which is only staying in U.S.A. for a short period ?
